# Muting all attendees


Meeting hosts, moderators, and delegates can mute all attendees. This gives hosts, moderators, and delegate more control over who can speak during a meeting. We recommend that you turn off meeting notifications while this feature is on when you host a large meeting.

**To mute all attendees**

1. In the left control bar, open the **More options** menu (![\[An icon showing a horizontal ellipsis.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/chime/latest/ug/images/left-control-6.png)). 

1. Choose **Mute all others**.

To unmute all attendees, repeat the previous steps.
